The following procedure provides a high-level overview about connecting a new or an existing MGC to a data network.
On System Manager, administer the following four IP addresses to configure the managed element that represents the Device Adapter media gateway:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
ELAN IP address
TLAN IP address
DSP DB1 IP address
DSP DB2 IP address
TLAN IP, DSP DB1 IP, and DSP DB2 IP addresses must be on the same TLAN subnet.
ELAN IP address can be on a separate ELAN subnet.
For a new MGC deployment, do the following:
Connect the MGC 1E faceplate port to the layer 2 switch of the ELAN subnet.
Connect the MGC 2T faceplate port to the layer 2 switch of the TLAN subnet.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Unlike the CS 1000 environment, in the Device Adapter environment separation of the ELAN subnet from the TLAN subnet is not mandatory. The ELAN and TLAN subnets can be the same subnet and you can connect the 1E and 2T ports to the same layer 2 switch.
Establish redundant data connectivity, such as redundant wiring and layer 2 switches for each ELAN and TLAN ports using the E and T networking connectors on the MGC chassis.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
For more information, see the CS 1000 documentation.
For an existing MGC deployment, disconnect any cables connected to the CE and CT ports on the MGC faceplate.
Ensure the following:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Connectivity between the MGC ELAN subnet and the Device Adapter Security Module subnet.
Connectivity between the MGC TLAN subnet and other media termination points, such as media source and sinks in the solution.
The one-way network delay for both ELAN (signaling) and TLAN (media) connections should be lower than 50 milliseconds (100 milliseconds RTT).
If this connectivity does not exist, administer additional routing rules on the solution routers as required.
